September 5, 2008 - The Virtual Console has been seeing something of a resurgence in recent weeks. Long-requested classics like Super Mario RPG, Ys Book I & II and Mega Man have finally appeared, and as a result people seem to be paying attention to Nintendo's weekly Monday updates again.

A new WiiWare offering puts you behind the wheel of a high-octane racer with no regard for speed limits. A classic Virtual Console game transforms you into a larger-than-life beast with a massive appetite for mayhem. Whichever you choose, there will be no skimping on the action.
